BSNEE Installation Guide 4
MEETING SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
The following software components need to be present before installing BSNEE:
• IIS
• WCF
• MSMQ (Message Queuing) Features
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 or higher
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher
If your server already meets these software requirements, please skip to the
Pre-Installation
section of this guide. Otherwise, install any or all components that are currently missing.
Note: This guide is designed for Windows Server 2012 R2. The installation process for IIS,
WCF, and MSMQ may differ if you are using a different Windows Server version. Please
consult the Windows Server documentation for more details.
IIS
Before installing IIS, make sure you have administrative user rights on the computer you are
using. By default, you will not have administrative user rights if you are logged in as a user
other than the root administrator, even if you have been added to the Local Administrators
group. This is a new security feature since Windows Server 2008, referred to as a “Local User
Administrator”.
Once you have administrative user rights, complete the following steps:
1. In the Server Manager window, navigate to the Manage menu and select Add Roles
and Features.
2. The Add Roles and Features Wizard may launch a Before you Begin page, which will
ask you to verify the following:
a. That the administrator account has a strong password.
b. That the network settings, such as IP addresses, are configured.
c. That the latest security updates from Windows Update are installed.
3. Select Web Server (IIS) on the Select Server Roles page.
4. Click Next. An introductory page will open with links for further information. Click Next
again.
